"Alexia designed a large planter box, which included adding a fountain, trees, plants, succulents, and a rock river bed. She provided us with a 3-D design based on our initial ideas of what we wanted. We fell in love with her rendition. She helped us pick out four large Jasper rocks, one of which we turned into a fountain. She also went with us to several nurseries to help us pick out the flowers, trees, and succulents that we used in the planter box. We absolutely love how the planter box turned out and enjoy sitting on our lounge chairs while listening to the fountain. We are also considering installing an aluminum awning in our backyard so Alexia provided different designs for us to consider for the awning placement. This project is still in process. We love working with Alexia she is passionate about her work and loves helping her clients realize their dreams. We will definitely rehire Alexia in the future should the need arise."

Architects questions, answered by experts

When conducting space planning, building codes and regulations need to be considered. As long as you are taking them into account and discussing them with the architect, you should be able to do your space planning appropriately.

In most cases, you should hire a draftsperson for simpler projects like minor home renovations, and you should hire an architect for new construction, structural changes to your home, and large home add-ons. If you’re working on a larger project that demands an architect or structural engineer, your professional will often have a draftsperson on staff and include their services in your estimate.

A structural engineer's report provides a professional assessment of a property's structural condition. It typically includes an evaluation of the foundation, key structural elements like roof trusses, floor joists, studs, beams, and rafters. The report will also contain a detailed description of the engineer's findings, often supported by photographs, and provide recommendations to correct any identified issues. Depending on the scope of the inspection, it might also include an assessment of property drainage, potential issues from environmental conditions like extreme weather or tree placement, and an estimated time and cost for any recommended repairs.

As with most large-scale home renovation projects, you’ll need an architect to map out the exact layout and specs of your above-garage room, which is required in many municipalities. Some general contractors will serve as your architect, or they may bring on a residential architect to assist with the plans.

Federal and Colonial architecture are similar in that they both appear mostly utilitarian and symmetrical, but Federal architecture is a bit more ornate. Federal design often includes decorative palladium windows, window lintels, and, sometimes, columns surrounding a more decorative portico. Inside, Federal architecture is set apart by its centrally-located oval room. Additionally, Federal homes tend to have brick facades, whereas Colonial homes more often have wood siding.
